Its called Calimocho? I think thats how it spelled.I visited Spain and was out at a party and tried this. It's almost purple in color and has a weird tangy taste and almost reminded me of the herbal qualities in jäger. Everyone was drinking it, and it seemed like a substitute for beer. They charged about the same as pint and came in a big plastic cup, much like a solo cup if your familiar with one of those. Definitely an interesting cultural drink as I haven't seen it anywhere else.

I did it and it took me all of 2 hours. Keep in mind I didn't watch the videos or take it seriously at all. I was disappointed because it came off as anti drinking propaganda instead of the impartial judgement free program it claimed to be. I can't really speculate what would happen if you don't do it. I can't imagine they would hunt you down during classes. I bet at some point it will be prohibitive to something important, like choosing classes or something similar and then you will be forced to take it. If you got any sort of alcohol education out of Highschool or have just been around a party or two and know basic stuff you should pass no problem.

If your familiar with storrs it's right in the same plaza as Wally's and Baja cafe. The plaza itself is located next to the police station. Last time I went it was $25 to get in and with that you get like one packet of tobacco. They have a bunch of different flavors and stuff you can pickup for like $20. The initial amount they give you is enough for about 1 hour of smoking. There is 3 people to a hooka. It seems like a pretty relaxed place but I have heard of them checking ID. It's more of a novelty I couldn't see anyone going more then a couple times.

I don't think Poli Sci is really like that at all, at least it hasn't been in my experience, of course there is always the stray douchebag, but what major doesn't have those kids? I guess it depends where you went, and what kind of field you concentrated in.

I have about 60 dives under my belt. They are all Caribbean and South American waters, I am in New England now and I that's very unfamiliar territory to me, I figured a couple dives up here under a DM might get me acclimated to the climate before I go out with some of my local buddies.
